Photo Session Retainer

A non-refundable retainer is due upon booking in order to reserve your Session. All remaining Balances including 6% sales tax is due at the time of session. No part of any order, including proofs will be delivered until the balance is paid in full. Your desired session is not reserved until the retainer is received full and clear. Therefore, the retainer is non-refundable. If you cancel with less than 48 notice, you forfeit your retainer and may not reschedule without a new retainer. Re-scheduling may occur to save your retainer if you give at least 48 hours notice and the session is rescheduled within 2 weeks of the original reserved date or if there is a family emergency or serious illness. I cannot always guarantee an available date two weeks out but will try my best to accommodate. Re-scheduling of the session due to bad weather may occur at photographers discretion only.
